Simultaneous detection of 6 spoilage organisms in one test

The Beer Spoilage PCR Micro Test kit was developed to rapidly detect major spoilage microorganisms within 2 hours directly from a spoiled beer sample or following a 24-48 hour enrichment step (recommended for clear beer).

This kit is intended for the detection of specific spoilage-causing wild yeasts and bacteria in beer.

• Simultaneous detection of wild yeasts (Saccharomyces diastaticus, Brettanomyces) and bacteria (hops-resistant Lactic acid bacteria, Acetic acid bacteria, Megasphaera and Pectinatus)
• Detection of spoilage organisms in spoiled products in 2 hours:
  Limit of detection: 10 to 100 cells/mL
• Detection of spoilage organisms by enrichment:
  Limit of Detection: 1 - 10 cells/mL Sample enrichment: 24 - 48 hr PCR operation and detection: 2 hr
